To anybody who can help :


I have a Yard Machine by, MTD, with a 14.5 hp engine on it, with a 7 speed, and that was purchased years ago, back in, I think between 1997 - 1999... don't really remember. It has always been a great running riding mower, except for minor things... expected though. I used it about two weeks ago and it ran well and got my lawn done... no problems. I get on it and try to start her up this week and nothing, but a single little click noise... thats it. It dose'nt crank or anything... just silence... HELP... LOL! I got new spark plug put in, new gasoline, oil level is good, new battery put in, and I still got nothing, nada, ZILCH! If you can help, let me know, OK??

That may be a new battery but you need to charge it for a few hours on trickle. Then come back if you still just click. The click may be the solenoid kicking in but there not enough juice to trun the starter. If this doesn't work we take it from there.
